Do I know anyone using Mercurial for decent-size professional dev teams? I’m being asked to evaluate a proposal for switching and I’d like to hear from a couple people who aren’t selling something and can give a sober account of where it’s good and where it struggles in the real world.

@calcifer Switching from what, exactly? From Subversion? Yes, absolutely, do that ASAP. From Git? No way. Mercurial is fine, and I'm sure it has some things it does better than Git. But you're going to be in for a world of pain everywhere else. GitHub and GitLab and Forgejo don't support it. No common tools support it nearly so well as they do Git. Your devs *will* have to use Git sometimes to manage 3rd-party deps. 99% of your devs will hate having to learn a non-Git VCS.
I wouldn't do it.

@tek we have an amalgam of different systems (some open and others not) and the CTO wants to unify everyone. There’s a big git camp and a small but influential hg camp, and I’m being asked basically to bring some sanity to the conversation.

I appreciate everyone who replied; based on your feedback (and others elsewhere), I’m probably going to make the focus of my assessment the overall ecosystem rather than the technical merits.
As in “hg has some cool features but it doesn’t matter because broad support for git has so much value”.

@calcifer interestingly there are parts of git that suffer from a similar issue (ecosystem support). For example, “large files” are a notoriously hard problem in git, and the most common solution is git-lfs (because it's what GH supports), even though arguably git-annex is superior.

Cieli sereni vedere vorrei di Linda Martin (Piove di Sacco, 2005)
Cieli sereni vedere vorrei
Ma per ora frastagliate sono ancora
Le speranze celesti di
Di poter abbracciare
Verdi pianure

Idea gratis per chi è in grado di sviluppare software: Duolingo ma che fa parte del fediverso.
Ogni istanza può proporre il proprio percorso di apprendimento (o anche più di uno) per lingua. Ed ogni esercizio diventa un’occasione per interagire con le persone che stanno imparando la lingua assieme a te.
I percorsi poi possono essere costruiti anche dai singoli utenti e distribuiti su istanze diverse. La gente può “forkare” i percorsi di apprendimento e ridistribuirli con modifiche.
